Husqvarna axes, anyone used them?

[demographic]

Was in my local tool/chainsaw shop yeaterday and spotted a quite nifty looking Husqvarna hatchet.
Seems keenly priced at about 26 quid as well, and being a Husky its going to be built for proper use I wound have thought.
Anyone used one of them to say?

HERES the range of them (not from my local shop admittedly) and this is the hatchet I was looking at.

Yep i got one from a mate who i belive bought a job lot cheap of the internet. Cost me a £10. Great little axe as good as the other GB i own in term of quality. Im sure they are made by Wetterlings or Hults (who Cegga works for) depending on what batch they are.

Get one

I did consider that they might have been re-branded Wetterlings as some of them look simillar.

Hmmm

I already have a couple of Stihl chainsaws (got both of them given, one of a brother and another off a bloke I was doing some work for) so I have that bit covered.

Stihl and Husqvarna make the best fossil fuel guzzling tools. they are a guilty pleasure.

Just spotted a thread about them HERE.

Seems like they are good quality and the price looks great.

Hi
Husky ask as at work to forge this axe so soon maybe they made by Hults Bruk.We made some other moddel for them.
I was sure before they ask on work that this was made by Gräsfors but Husqvarna say that it´s a Kina made axe

Well I got one today, the little hatchet.
Seems nice, shaves hairs of my arm straight after buying it so they put a good factory edge on it.

No photos to show you chaps as I couldn't find any reindeer hide and proper "Bushrcraft" scenes to use as a backdrop, I could have taken a pic with it on the plastic toolbox its currently lying on but didn't want to be ostracised by the community for it not being quite "Pukka"

I'll report how I get on with the axe when its had some good use but I'm very pleased with it and especially for the under 26 quid I paid for it from the local tool sales and chainsaw shop.

Has anyone tried their spliting range of husky axes? I dont mean for carrying on your bergan bushcrafting so much, but log spliting in general. They look nice but in two minds to get one??
